AI总结：
本文提出CaiTI，一种基于大语言模型和智能设备的对话式AI治疗师，通过强化学习实现个性化对话，结合CBT和MI干预，经14天和24周研究验证，能有效进行日常功能筛查和心理治疗干预。
摘要：
尽管全球面临心理健康危机，但获得筛查、专业人士和治疗的机会仍然很高。我们与持牌心理治疗师合作，提出了一种带有心理治疗干预的对话式AI治疗师（CaiTI），这是一个利用大语言模型（LLM）和智能设备来促进更好的心理健康自我护理的平台。CaiTI可以通过自然且心理治疗性的对话来筛查日常功能。CaiTI利用强化学习来提供个性化的对话流程。CaiTI能够准确理解和解读用户的回应。当用户在对话中需要进一步关注时，CaiTI可以提供对话式心理治疗干预，包括认知行为疗法（CBT）和动机性访谈（MI）。利用由持牌心理治疗师准备的数据集，我们实验并微基准测试了各种LLM在CaiTI对话流程中的任务表现，并讨论了它们的优缺点。我们与心理治疗师合作，实施了CaiTI并进行了为期14天和24周的研究。经治疗师验证的研究结果表明，CaiTI能够自然地与用户对话，准确理解和解读用户回应，并适当且有效地提供心理治疗干预。我们展示了CaiTI LLM在辅助心理治疗诊断和治疗、改善日常功能筛查和预防性心理治疗干预系统方面的潜力。
英文摘要：
Despite the global mental health crisis, access to screenings, professionals, and treatments remains high. In collaboration with licensed psychotherapists, we propose a Conversational AI Therapist with psychotherapeutic Interventions (CaiTI), a platform that leverages large language models (LLM)s and smart devices to enable better mental health self-care. CaiTI can screen the day-to-day functioning using natural and psychotherapeutic conversations. CaiTI leverages reinforcement learning to provide personalized conversation flow. CaiTI can accurately understand and interpret user responses. When the user needs further attention during the conversation, CaiTI can provide conversational psychotherapeutic interventions, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and motivational interviewing (MI). Leveraging the datasets prepared by the licensed psychotherapists, we experiment and microbenchmark various LLMs' performance in tasks along CaiTI's conversation flow and discuss their strengths and weaknesses. With the psychotherapists, we implement CaiTI and conduct 14-day and 24-week studies. The study results, validated by therapists, demonstrate that CaiTI can converse with users naturally, accurately understand and interpret user responses, and provide psychotherapeutic interventions appropriately and effectively. We showcase the potential of CaiTI LLMs to assist the mental therapy diagnosis and treatment and improve day-to-day functioning screening and precautionary psychotherapeutic intervention systems.
